witness was on the other side. Paulo
and another man had been fighting and
the former having gone outside, de-
ceased followed and tried to prevail with
him not to fight any more. 1t was then
that Paulo stabbed him. Other persons

remained in the house while this was
going on. Deceased said to witness i'm
mediately afterwards: ''I am cut" She
